Application filed November 18, 1922. Serial No. 601,925.

Be it known that I, HENIPY M. Srrnnn,`

a citizen of the United States, residng at Quincy, 1n the county of Adams and State of Illinois, have invented certain new andV useful Improvements in Brooders, of Which the following is a specitication.

My inventon relates to an improvement in brooders.

The present invention provides a convenopy having an opening through Which the smoke-pipepasses, Which canopy is adapted to be tilted over on one edge as a support orvbearing, away from, and to one side of,

the stove or burner, Withoutfthe necessity` of disconnecting or removing the smoke-` pipe.

The accompanying drawing is a vievvr in perspective.

A, represents a stove or burner of any approved type; and 1, is a tank for sup-`` o gtilted to one side Without` disturbing the pipe, and means for supporting the outer i plying fuel thereto 'through the pipe 2.

The numeral 3 ndicates a canopy of the portable type having a hole ll, through Which the smoke-pipe 5 eXtends loosely.`

Thesmoke-pipe 5 is of the gooseneck type, havingl an elbow 6 adiacent to the stove or burner, a horizonal section 7, and another elboW 8 connecting the horlzontal section With the vertical part of the pipe.

The size of the opening 4- in the canopy is preferably just large enough to receive the croWn fiange of the stove or burner, When the canopy .is in place over the stove or burner. The canopy may have legs 10` at one side, and the outer end of the smokepipe may rest upon supports 11,\if desired.

These canopies are .more or less heavy, and. Where the smoke-pipe leads directly up from the stove or burnern` it is necessary to lift them bodily. and to facilitate handling` them it is customary to use cables and pulleys in order to lift the canopy to the ceiling, if need` be. All this I avoid by providing the goose-neck smoke-pipe. Which extends off more or less directly to one side of the stove or burner7 and running this `gooseneck pipe through a hole in the canopy of sutlicient size so that When the latter is tilted over on edge, 'the hole Will clear the inner elboW or' gooseneck, and at the same time the canopy Will be out of the Way, making the burner or stove easily accessilole,` and Without any of the diificulty attendant upon bodily lifting the canopy yaway from the stove or burner.

'Vhile the legs 10 are convenient as a support and bearing .When the canopy .is

tilted, and also to prevent its rolling, they are not absolutely necessary and can be omitted altogether, as the canopy can be 4conveniently tilted to one side, either With or Without them, Without disturbing the pipe'and making it perfectly easy to get the stove or burner.

I claim:

l. The combination of a stove or burner, a gooseneck stove-pipe, and a canopyhaving' a hole of suflicient size through which. the pipe extends to admit of the canopy beingtilted to one side Without disturbing the pipe.

2.` The combination of a stove or burner, a gooseneck stove-pipe, a canopy having a hole of suflicient size through Which the pipe extends to admit of the canopy being When the canopy is normally placed and afi fords a support for it` and a gooso-neck smoke pipe extending through the opening.

5. The combination of a stove or burner, a canopy having an opening in the top adapted to be filled by the top of the burner when the canopy is in its normal position7 and a gooseneck pipe extending from4 the burner through the opening in the canopy Whereby to permit the canopy to be tilted to one side While. the pipe is still in the opening therein.

In testimony Whereof I aflix my signature.
